Subject: Amended: Soliciting Comments on the Experimental River
Forecast Center Decision Support Map Through
April 1, 2015
Amended to extend comment period through April 1, 2015, and to add two
additional participating River Forecast Centers (RFC)
NWS is seeking comments on the Experimental River Forecast Center
Decision Support Map through April 1, 2015. The NWS West Gulf River
Forecast Center, Arkansas Red Basin River Forecast Center, Lower
Mississippi River Forecast Center, and the Southeast River Forecast
Center are testing a new Hydrologic Decision Support Map service that
melds a variety of spatial data products on the same background map to
aide analysis and decision making.
The Hydrologic Decision Support Map is a Google Map-based tool
containing many of the data sets needed to make water resources,
flood, and emergency management decisions. The map tool provides
stakeholders the flexibility to create customized maps and the
ability to scale maps beyond a single RFC boundary.
The Decision Support Map and a description of how to use the map
are available at:
